Defeated, I'm seeing a lot of positivity on this board, and I think you are a big contributor to it. I love your name ... because it is a misnomer, just like 100footpole. My name comes from the zen question "Which way do you turn when you're standing on a 100footpole". Similarly your name...

I completely understand when you feel stuck in a relationship that didn't work out. You play everything back in your head and try to see where you went wrong or what you could have done better. But I've found in my personal experiences that in some cases it was NOT my fault. Sometimes it was both of...

I think you will cut contact when you're ready. Its one of those things that you just wake up one day and decide enough is enough. Ah it sucks that your schedule makes it hard to see a counselor. But its good that you've wanted to for a while. Again, its another one of those situations when you will...

Hey LockedUp,

I'm sorry that you have been going through a hard time. I'm sure having to care for your mother has taken its toll. Do you see a counselor? I hope you are doing okay.

Hey nmabis,

I completely understand how much it sucks not to be able to cry. Are you on any medication? In the past when I am on certain medications I am unable to cry. It's a horrible feeling. *hugs* Hang in there. Sometimes I watch a sad movie, it helps to get some release.

I have also been through this same issue. Here is my story - I will try to keep it short. ;) I grew up very poor and was raised by a single mother. My father was an alcoholic who cheated on my mom all the time and got another lady pregnant. :/ My Father left when I was a year and a half and when my...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WITH MY LIFE. I feel so stuck!! Right now I'm trying to revise for my GCSEs. I've been basically stuck inside for the last four months and have been stressed for two years. It doesn't help that I'm coping with anxiety and depression either. I can't wait for this part of ...

And thank you for a different perspective.....I agree with your point about it being difficult to make new friends. I believe it's even harder as an adult, because we are quite set in our ways. I suppose I'm just emotionally exhausted and I have absolutely NO time for people who turn on me because ...

Hey CajunKimby, I'm so glad that ECT has been helping you feel better. :) I have been recommended it by my psychiatrist for quite sometime, I am still on the fence about it. Have you noticed any memory loss at this time? *hugs* to you and thank you for sharing your experience with us. Please keep us...

Hey CITM :) Its nice to see you on the forum <3 I completely agree that mental health should be priority today. It is odd that it is not. I understand what you mean, I think... That really our mind contributes and sometimes can even cause physical effects. As someone who deals with chronic pain in b...

Hey Tatertots, Welcome to the forum and for sharing your story. :) Its obvious you've been through so much in your past that seems to be following you around which can definitely take a toll on someone. Have you considered writing in a journal? Maybe letting out some of the rage by exercising? I'm s...

*hugs*

Please hang in there. I hope things get better for you soon. I'm glad you're here venting <3

Hey Ann :) Welcome to the forums, its nice to have you here. And thank you for your service. It seems like this girl has become really toxic for you and has been for a long time. I know sometimes when heartbroken we tend to hang on to the tiniest bit even if its bad for us. But tbh, imo, I would cut...

Hey there stephanie :) Welcome to the forums, it's nice to have you here. I'm sorry you're going through such a tough time. I completely understand what its like when depression starts to interfere with every day functioning. Are you currently seeking counseling? Sometimes it helps just to vent to s...
